We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

Xia Shiqing blushed and pushed Zhou Tong away.

"Don't talk nonsense, he really is a customer."

"What kind of client would make you eat with them until nine o'clock?" Zhou Tong persisted, crossing her arms and showing off her ample assets. "A man, right? How old?"

Xia Shiqing put down her water glass and sat down on the sofa.

"He bought a Mercedes-Benz S-Class 600 in our store a few days ago, paying in full."

The rented room immediately fell silent.

Zhou Tong stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape, and remained stunned for a long time.

I bought a top-of-the-line luxury car worth 2.6 million yuan in cash.

She quickly did a mental calculation, and then excitedly threw herself at Xia Shiqing, hugging her shoulders and shaking her vigorously.

"Oh my god! Shiqing, you're going to strike it rich! The commission from this one order is more than half a year's salary for you!" Zhou Tong shouted excitedly, then her tone turned gossipy.

"How old is this customer? Is he one of those coal mine owners with a beer belly and a receding hairline? Or some nouveau riche?"

Xia Shiqing immediately pictured Ye Chen's sunny and handsome face. She gently shook her head.

"Neither." Xia Shiqing's voice softened slightly, carrying a hint of infatuation she herself was unaware of. "He's very young, probably only eighteen or nineteen."

Zhou Tong was completely stunned.

Eighteen or nineteen years old? Buying a luxury car worth over two million yuan in cash?

Zhou Tong immediately released her grip, her expression becoming extremely serious.

She sat up straight and stared intently into Xia Shiqing's eyes.

"Shiqing, don't do anything foolish," Zhou Tong said solemnly.

"These are definitely top-tier rich kids from families with huge fortunes. They buy luxury cars just to pick up girls, and they don't even blink an eye when it comes to spending money."

"Don't let his good looks and wealth fool you into getting involved. People like that dump you faster than they throw away a piece of clothing once they're done with you."

Xia Shiqing instinctively felt resistant upon hearing her best friend's warning.

"He's not that kind of person," Xia Shiqing retorted firmly. "He's completely different from other rich kids. He's very polite, has a great temper, and when he smiles, he's like a sunny, cheerful young man. Besides..."

Xia Shiqing paused for a moment, the image of Ye Chen's deep and controlling gaze flashing through her mind. "He has a very special kind of composure that can't be faked."

Zhou Tong sighed.

Looking at her best friend's flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, she knew that Xia Shiqing had completely fallen for her.

"Whatever you want. Just be careful, or you might come back crying to me later." Zhou Tong shook her head and turned to walk back to the bedroom.

Xia Shiqing sat on the sofa and took out her phone.

On the screen, the name "Ye Chen" lay quietly in the contacts list.

She looked at it for a while, a smile appeared on her lips, and she pressed the phone against her chest.

the other side.

All Seasons Hotel, Nanjing West Road.

Ye Chen pushed open the glass door and stepped into the lobby. Su Xiaowan was on duty at the front desk.

She wore a black professional pencil skirt, and her white shirt was stretched taut by her shapely figure.

Her waistline was extremely slender, making her appear both gentle and capable.

Upon seeing Ye Chen walk in, Su Xiaowan immediately stood up straight and revealed a sweet smile.

"Mr. Ye, you're back."

Ye Chen walked to the counter and put one hand in his pocket.

He had a refreshing youthful smile on his face and bright eyes.

"Good evening, Ms. Su. The lobby is quite quiet tonight. Did you encounter any difficult customers?"

He made a casual joke, his tone relaxed and natural.

He had none of the arrogance one would expect from someone driving a luxury car worth over two million; he was just like an ordinary boy next door.

Su Xiaowan blushed slightly and nodded gently.

"There weren't many guests checking in today, everything went smoothly. Would you like two bottles of ice water brought up?"

"Thank you for your help. And I wish you sweet dreams tonight." Ye Chen smiled and waved before turning and walking toward the elevator.

Su Xiaowan watched his retreating figure, her heart pounding faster.

Every time this eighteen-year-old boy appeared, he could easily stir her emotions.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the glass curtain wall of Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port onto the asphalt road.

A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz smoothly drove into the park gate and parked steadily in its designated parking space downstairs in Building B.

The car door opened, and Ye Chen stepped out.

Today he was wearing a well-tailored, dark, high-end casual suit, with one hand in his pocket.

The luxury watch on my wrist gleamed with a cold metallic sheen in the morning light.

He walked into the building with light steps and took the elevator directly to the twelfth floor.

Pushing open the glass doors of "Starry Sky Interactive," the office area has undergone a complete transformation.

The once empty space has been arranged in an orderly manner, with brand-new, top-of-the-line computers placed on the workstations by the window.

Han Yue, an administrator, was standing next to the printer, organizing documents.

Today she wore a light-colored, tight-fitting, bodycon mini dress that perfectly accentuated her slender waist and alluring curves.

As she moves, she exudes an intellectual allure unique to working women.

Upon hearing the door open, Han Yue immediately turned around, revealing a standard professional smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Ye."

"Good morning, has everyone had breakfast? If not, I'll treat you later." Ye Chen smiled and nodded, his tone lively and cheerful, like a college student visiting the company.

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from the corridor.

The newly hired finance manager, Su Ya, walked over with a dark-colored folder in her hand.

She wore a fitted black business suit, exuding a cool and decisive aura of a powerful career woman.

Su Ya walked up to Ye Chen, stood still, and looked focused and efficient.

"Mr. Ye, you've arrived."

Ye Chen walked to the sofa in the lounge area and sat down, then casually pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Sit down." His sunny smile vanished, his eyes becoming deep and intensely authoritative. "By the way, how's the progress on the overseas funding issue I discussed yesterday?"

Su Ya sat down opposite Ye Chen and immediately closed the folder in her hand.

She looked at the eighteen-year-old boss in front of her, her cold and beautiful eyes revealing an undisguised shock.
